Risk factors analysis for surgical site infection following elective colorectal resection: a retrospective regression analysis.

Background: A surgical site infection (SSI) is a major post-operative complication from elective colorectal surgery; however, few studies have focused on evaluating the risk factors for SSI. This study aimed to analyze the relative correlation of medical and environmental factors as well as patient-related factors that contribute to the incidence of all types of SSI.

Methods: A retrospective search for eligible patients was conducted using the patient database of the Gastrointestinal Surgery Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2011 to August 2017.

Trans-anal or trans-abdominal total mesorectal excision? A systematic review and meta-analysis of recent comparative studies on perioperative outcomes and pathological result.

Background: Trans-anal total mesorectal resection (TaTME) is a novel approach for rectal cancer. However, the perioperative and pathological outcomes of this procedure remain controversial.

Method: A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, Embase, Wanfang (China) and the Cochrane Library databases without restriction to regions or languages.

Predictive models of adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with stage ii colorectal cancer: A retrospective study.

Background: It remains controversial whether patients with Stage II colorectal cancer would benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy after radical resection. The aim of this study was to establish two mathematical models to identify the suitable patients for adjuvant chemotherapy.

Methods: The current study comprised of two steps.

Effect of preservation of Denonvilliers' fascia during laparoscopic resection for mid-low rectal cancer on protection of male urinary and sexual functions.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of preservation of Denonvilliers' fascia (DF) during laparoscopic resection for mid-low rectal cancer on protection of male urogenital function. Whether preservation of DF during TME is effective for protection of urogenital function is largely elusive.Seventy-four cases of male mid-low rectal cancer were included.

Laparoscopic resection for rectal cancer and cholecystectomy for patient with situs inversus totalis.

Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital anomaly presenting with complete transposition of thoracic and abdominal viscera. Laparoscopic surgery for either rectal cancer or gallbladder diseases with SIT is rarely reported in the literature. A 39-year-old woman was admitted to hospital owing to rectal cancer.

Laparoscopy-assisted combined resection for synchronous gastrointestinal multiple primary cancers.

Background: Synchronous gastrointestinal multiple primary cancers (SGMPC) is infrequent. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility and outcomes of laparoscopy-assisted combined resection for SGMPC.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 16 cases of SGMPC underwent either open or laparoscopy-assisted combined resection in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from Jan.

Laparoscopic lysis of the ligament of treitz for superior mesenteric artery syndrome.

Background: Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome (SMAS) is a rare condition caused by compression of the third portion of the duodenum by the SMA. The effect of the laparoscopic management of SMAS remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility and effect of the laparoscopic management for SMAS.
